In this episode I chat with author Huma Qureshi about her fiction and nonfiction, and her memoir HOW WE MET.
We talk about the stories that opened her eyes to what books can do, the freedoms of fiction and how you go about taking real people's rights and feelings into account when you write nonfiction. We also talk about expectations readers bring to texts by authors of different background, and resisting those expectations.
